If you are doing a great job on your blog and posting regularly, sometimes important posts fade away from the home page. Sound familiar? Today, we’re excited about introducing two new themes that come with a featured section for prominently displaying some of these posts.

The first theme is iTheme 2 designed by Themify, is a free theme inspired by the instantly recognizable Apple style design that is perfect for your Mac related tech blog. By activating it, iTheme 2 immediately revamps your blog to a stylish, Apple themed cool blog.

What’s great about iTheme 2 is not only the look but also its features. It offers three color schemes and a cool featured posts carousel on the home page. Go find more about the theme on its showcase page.

The second entry is Bold News, a premium theme from WooThemes. Same as other fantastic themes from them, Bold News is also packed with customizing features as well as a featured posts carousel on the home page. Get the full details on the theme showcase page. You can upgrade your blog to Bold News directly from the showcase, or from your dashboard under Appearance → Themes.

Really really nice themes! Excellent work!
although I’m not a mac enthusiast I’ll give a try to this theme, it looks really good, and I lke its style, also bold news is an excellent piece of work, keep up the good work, 😀

I’m trying out itheme2 because I think the Post Carousel is a very good idea! It will take some time, though, to set a featured image on the posts I want to make sticky. I plan on sizing my featured images for iTheme2 (593X261 pixels), and hope they will look right if I switch to another theme that uses featured images!

PS.
After I tried it, things I really like from iTheme2 are:
1. It gives a lot more headline spaces for page. It put pages in a proper position.
2. It has custom header.
3. It’s sleek and elegant.
4. It’s very.. Mac. XD

Thank you WordPress for the great looking themes. I just switched to the iTheme2. And it makes my blog look great. I l love the way it shows off my photographs. And the carousel is so cool to use. Now I can showcase my older posts. Thank you again for your wonderful service. 🙂
